-Gasoline Operations- <br /> The safety measures described in this section relate principally to a kiosk fuel center, as a <br /> facility that provides only gasoline. <br /> I. Protective Clothing. Personnel should be encouraged to wear protective clothing as <br /> needed at their facility. Recommended types of protective of clothing and possible <br /> applications include: <br /> • Shoes with slip-resistant soles for general use around the fueling center. <br /> • Gloves for handling sharp objects <br /> • Clothing with smooth edges and a proper fit; attendants should avoid wearing clothes <br /> that can catch on equipment, such as clothing that is loose or has ragged edges. <br /> If the skin comes into contact with caustic substances despite the use of protective <br /> clothing, the following procedures should be followed: <br /> • Clothing that becomes soaked with gasoline or oil immediately, but only in an area or <br /> room with good ventilation and no source of ignition; wash the exposed skin thoroughly. <br /> • Alcohol-type antifreeze solutions contain methanol (methyl-alcohol), a poison <br /> commonly known as wood alcohol, which may cause serious illness, blindness, or death <br /> if ingested or cause severe dermatitis of the skin; wash methanol immediately off the skin <br /> and use an hand cream to restore the skin's oil; never ingest methanol. <br /> • If battery acid, break fluid, or other caustic solutions touch the skin, flush the area with <br /> water for at least five minutes; if the liquid contacts the eye, flush the eye with lukewarm <br /> water for at least fifteen minutes; contact a physician immediately. <br /> II. Emergency Shutdown Switches. All fueling centers have an emergency shutdown <br /> switch that is located on the front of the kiosk. <br /> • All attendants are to understand the purpose and location of the emergency shutdown <br /> switches and are familiar with their operation. <br /> • In fueling centers that frequently have shifts where only one attendant is on duty, an <br /> emergency shutdown switch should be located within reach of the attendant's positions at <br /> the cash register. <br /> Section 3-1 <br />
